*  The Shiite mind is distinguished from all other minds by openness, study, analysis, and research to reach the truth.

*  The war in Iraq was and still is a war on behalf of the world, and any danger to which Iraq faces threatens global security and peace.

The representative of His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) and the director of his office His Eminence Sheikh Ali Al-Najafy welcomed the Danish ambassador to Iraq, Mr. Stig Paolo Piras, and affirmed that the opening of embassies in Iraq is an indication of the stability of Iraq and the restoration of international relations with it, and we hope that there will be development and consolidation in the relationship in terms of strengthening the relationship between the two countries, and activating what is appropriate for the two peoples, especially the economic area.

Al-Najafy added that the country of Denmark has a good relationship with the Islamic communities, and they are living in a state of reassurance, and we hope that this relationship will be more solid and developed, and to include the rest of Europe, especially after Islam has been subjected to distorting its image at the hands of the terrorist forces ISIS, which has no connection to Islam. In fact, it does not represent Islam or reflect his principles.

Regarding the scholarly Hawza in Holy Najaf, the religious authority and the answers to the ambassador’s questions, Sheikh Najafy stated: “The Shiite mind is distinguished from all other minds by openness, study, analysis, and research to reach the truth and ultimate knowledge, and their work is to link with the hereafter and in front of all forms of terrorism that are The Shiite mind has been subjected to it, and over the past centuries we find that it is strong, steadfast and staying powerfully, had it not been for the development of Shiite thought and its mentality, it would not have remained throughout these centuries in the midst of wars, terrorism, and persecution for nearly 1400 years, in addition to many of the characteristics that characterize the cleric and the student of knowledge in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf, as it works to verify every piece of information in the various religious and historical sciences.”

Regarding the political situation in Iraq, “Iraq wants peace and a strong relationship with all neighboring countries, and all countries of the world, and Iraq has no problem with anyone but the Zionist entity that has an exclusionary thought.” His Eminence Sheikh Ali Al-Najafy affirmed.

Iraq has long, common borders with the two neighbors, Iran and Saudi Arabia, and common factors, other religious, social, historical, scientific and economic, and it is necessary to have a good neighborly relationship with both of them, far from regional and international political conflicts. We do not want Iraq to be subordinate to a another state. Everyone must respect the sovereignty of Iraq and that sovereignty be based on extending bridges of communication between Iraq and other countries, and we should not deny everyone who stood with Iraq for help in its fight against ISIS, at a time when many countries renounced their duties towards Iraq.” Sheikh Ali Al-Najafy continued.

His Eminence continued by saying: “The international coalition had a clear effect in achieving victory over ISIS through support, and as soon as it entered Iraq’s defense and support operations, and the presence of this coalition in Iraq depends on agreement on the decision of the Iraqi state and its political leadership, which is concerned with this matter, and at the same time we thank the Danes who participated in the international coalition, and supported the Iraqi armed forces in defending its land, people, and capabilities. "

Sheikh Al-Najafy explained that the war in Iraq was and is still in war on behalf of the world, and what threats Iraq could threaten global peace and security, and ending ISIS in Iraq is not the final issue, and the important question after ISIS is what will appear in the world from terrorist forces? Spreading stray ideas still exists, and these ideas threaten peace and coexistence in the world. Therefore, the world must cooperate and join hands to confront these conspiracies.

For his part, the Danish ambassador extended his thanks and gratitude for this frankness and opportunity, reviewing the future aspects of Iraqi-Danish cooperation.
